Block Aero: Aviation Asset Intelligence

The challenge

Aviation assets carry a long history of ownership, documents, maintenance events and approvals. Managing that information manually makes it harder to follow an asset through its lifecycle and keep the right records available. Block Aero needed a platform that connected asset history with structured operational workflows. Document classification, data integrity and maintenance insight were central requirements, alongside support for complex approval processes.

The solution

The solution combines an ASP.NET Zero portal with a Hyperledger-based asset ledger and AI-assisted document processing. It connects lifecycle records with operational workflows, while Python and .NET services support analysis of information from sensors, ERPs and other systems.

Key features

• Traceable asset history: A Hyperledger-based ledger records ownership and back-to-birth events to support transparency across an asset’s lifecycle.
• Operational portal: An ASP.NET Zero portal connects procurement, maintenance and disposal, with structured workflows and approvals.
• Document intelligence: Azure NLP and Google AI tools support document classification and data extraction, alongside supervised model training.
• Maintenance intelligence: Python and .NET analyse information from sensors, ERPs and other systems to inform predictive maintenance, reports and alerts.
